The next thing I know, I'm getting a "disk not validated" error when trying to write to DH0:. I can't rename, copy or write to DH0: in any fashion. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this. The only thing I can think of is that I wrote the file back as "startup-sys" and maybe the system can't find it?? Is it necessary to re-format the hard-drive at this point...is there some less drastic technique which will get me my disk back? --- msged 1.99S ZTC * Origin: 'The Beat BBS 206-581-7966 [Fido & Usenet...nwnexus!alake]' (1:138/117) -- Greg Sheppard Telephone: 1-206-581-4276 imop@alake.UUCP Work: 1-206-581-8924
